- Confidence in Proper System Operation:
Indicator lights show the status of system components. Warning lights appear when system maintenance is required.
- Safety Cap and Special Lamp Plug:
The safety cap prevents children from accessing the lamp or electrical components. The special lamp plug ensures that no one can power the UV lamp if it is not in the UV chamber.
- Reference Card:
The reference card outlines the most important system functions and maintenance for your quick, on-the-spot questions.
- Lamp Age Display: A display will count down to indicate when the lamp should be replaced. When 30 days remain the lamp light will show yellow and alarm will sound giving you time to order your new lamp.

| Pelican UV Systems Are NSF 55 Class B Certified |
back to top |
- NSF Certified Protection: Each system is independently tested and certified by NSF under standard 55 class B for guaranteed disinfection on city water supplies (16 m/J) and approved for use in cities requiring certified units, including Quebec, Canada.
- Affordable Certified Protection: Now you can get commerical quality NSF certification on affordable residental UV systems.
- All the benefits of UV Systems: These systems come with all the same benefits and features of the standard UV systems.
What does NSF 55 Class B Certification mean?
This standard establishes requirements for point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) ultraviolet systems and includes two optional classifications. Class A (40 m/J) are designed to disinfect and/or remove microoganisms from contaminted water, including bacteria and viruses, to a safer level. Class B systems (16 m/J) are designed for supplemental bactericidal treatment of public drinking water or other drinking water, which has been deemed acceptable by a local health agency.

Seems good
I bought this because I thought it was 316 stainless steel but turns out it was 304 S.S. The unit seems well built so installed and just started working today. I was really impressed with the shipping speed and response to questions I had. If it performs well I will send photos and info.

Easy to install.
I'm repairing a vacant house that has some really bad city water. I ordered a PSE1800 system and installed. During this process of installing the filters we have had 3 boil water orders from the city. So looked around a bit and decided to get UV device UV 8 NSF from Pelican . It was real easy to install into the PSE1800 system. Hopefully once we get the house livable it will keep us from boiling. Currently we are staving in our RV on the property using the filtered water from the house. So far all is working well

Good product, easy to install
I didn’t know that I needed to buy an extra filter for sediment. So that was an added cost, but other than that I’m very happy with the system

Pelican Basic UV-7
The glass sleeve was broken inside when the unit arrived and was unpacked. Customer service was immediately accessible and shipped a new sleeve and light which arrived within 36 hours. They were also very good about answering my questions before the purchase. AND - the installation and owners manual are first rate!

I have a 5 bedroom house and I am running the 10 year pelican carbon filter. Which UV should I run? The specs didn't show a side by side comparison. I'm guessing the bigger one. Does it install easily with the existing carbon? (No softner, not needed)
Asked by: Unearthlydust
For a 5-bathroom home, based on flow rate the larger UV, PUV-14 would be recommended.

What is maximum flow rate in gallons per minute for 100% effective UV treatment?
Asked by: John
Nobody can make a claim to 100% effective UV in any water situation. The flow rates listed for this system are based on achieving a 3-log reduction at 90+% UVT on treated water applications.

Is this class A certified? Thank you!
Asked by: JJp123
These are class B certified (30 m/j). Class A certified (40 m/j) are the PRO series systems which you can find here: https://www.pelicanwater.com/uv/viqua-pro-uv/

Will this work to treat a well to a whole house with t coliform bacteria?
Asked by: benD
Depending on the quality of the water, and the UVT of the water, it will help with coliform. If you have not had your well tested yet, we recommend doing that first and then speaking to one of our water experts to discuss which option will work best.

With over 600 different types of iron and sulfur bacteria, and the jelly-like membrane the bacteria have, the UV would not be able to properly penetrate the membrane of the bacteria to disinfect the water. It is recommended you look at a chlorine injection system with retention to kill iron or sulfur bacteria.

The Pelican™ comes with a full, non-prorated 3-year warranty against manufacturer's defects on the power supply ; a 10-year guarantee on the UV chamber; and a 1-year warranty on lamps and sensors.
Note: Manufacturer's warranty and performance guarantees do not cover acts of God, misuse or abuse. All products must be used in accordance to the specific application. All warranties and performance guarantees are valid to the original purchases and purchaser's delivery location. Labor and/or cost of damage due to misuse or defective items are the responsibility of the purchaser. If you have not had a water test done before purchasing a system, a certified water test may be required for any warranty claims. Should your water test show contaminants unknown at the time of purchase or unknown to Pelican, this may void your warranty. Please contact your authorized Pelican Dealer for further details. Enviro Water Solutions, Inc. or its Authorized Dealers will not be liable for any circumstance for consequential or incidental damages. It is the purchaser's responsibility to ensure that the equipment is installed in compliance with all applicable building codes.
|
| Q. What is the difference between normal UV systems and Pelican UV Systems ? |
Pelican UV Systems are validated and certified under NSF 55 Class B, where other models are not. Validated models have a flow restrictor installed on the unit that limits the maximum flow, to guarantee a minimum 16 m/J dose @ 70% UVT according to the NSF standard which is acceptable for city water supply disinfection.
|
| Q. Will UV get rid of Iron Bacteria and/or Sulfur Reducing Bacteria? |
UV is not recommended for the disinfection of water with iron or sulfur bacteria. With over 600 different types of iron and sulfur bacteria, and the jelly-like membrane the bacteria have, the UV would not be able to properly penetrate the membrane of the bacteria to disinfect the water. It is recommended you look at a chlorine injection system with retention to kill iron or sulfur bacteria.
|
| Q. Is there a lot of maintenance required with a UV system? |
All you have to do is periodically clean the lamp sleeve and replace your lamp once a year - simple processes you can complete in minutes. For ease of handling the lamp and protective quartz sleeve are designed as one component, but can be replaced separately. No tools are required for maintenance.
|
| Q. What type of warranty do the Pelican UV Max Systems come with? |
The Pelican UV Max comes with a full five year warranty against manufacturer's defects on the power supply ; a ten year guarantee on the water chamber; and a one year warranty on lamps and UV intensity monitors.
|
| Q. Why is it recommended to pretreat the water before installing a Pelican UV Max System? |
A 5-micron sediment pre-filter is recommended to remove dirt and debris. The reason for this pretreatment is the quality of the water can not only affect the dosage of UV disinfection the system provides, it may also cause premature "sleeve fouling" which will require the sleeve to be cleaned more often, and may also damage the UV sleeve.
|
| Q. What makes the Pelican UV Max light more effective than other on the market? |
 The UV light is generated from a low-pressure, high-output lamp new to the residential and commercial UV market. These lamps provide a higher intensity of UV light making it possible to treat a given volume of water with smaller, more efficient units.
